Will Succeed Tuttle as Head of Bos
ton & Maine.
The New Vork Tribune says: When the
merger of the Boston & Maine with the
New York, New Haven & Hartford has
been completed, Lucius Tuttle, now presi
dent of the Boston & Maine, will retire
and will be succeeded by Charles S. Mel
lon, president of the New Haven road.
The information was received by the
Tribune from sources close to the New
Haven and to the Boston & Maine man
agements. Mr. Mellen at one time was a subordi
nate of Mr. Tuttle in the Boston & Maine.
Mr. Tuttle is one of the best-known rail
road men in the east, and in Maine people
will tell one that he commands more
l.niniln,- ronfiilence thnn any business
man in that part of the country. Mr.
Tuttle, it is understood, is not m close
.,,.,i -;ti. Ale Alellen and would not
remain with the Boston & Maine under
the consolidation, and, moreover, he feels
that after long years of active railroad
work he is entitled to a rest. His suc
cessor, as far as operating control is con
cerned, will be an experienced Boston &
Maine man. but the-real control of the
property will be in the hands of Mr. Mel

There is still opportunity for a bust
ling candidate in the third district, in
which voting has not been very brisk.
We naturally wish to have as large a
yoto as possible, although the winner
will receive the prize no matter how
few votes are cast.
In the second district a new name
appears, that of Samuel Brown of
Springfield, VL As four new subscrib
ers for five years each would put any
candidate ahead in this district, it can
easily be seen that the race is not
vet over.
In the first district, any one of the
four leaders has a good opportunity to
win. Remember the votes must be in
by noon July 2.
